West’s impenetrable defense held its fourth consecutive playoff opponent out of the end zone Friday night as the Rebels blitzed Walker Valley 38-3.
The win moves West into the state championship for the second year in a row – and it’s a rematch of the 2022 title game.
The Rebels (13-1) will square off with Page (13-1) at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 1, at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga in the Class 5A BlueCross Bowl.

Page edged previously unbeaten Southwind 10-7 in the other 5A semifinal game Friday.
